A man accused in a shooting rampage that killed three teenage swimmers at a river on the Wisconsin-Michigan border has been charged with seven more felonies.

Scott J. Johnson is already facing three counts of first-degree intentional homicide.

Court records say he's now also charged with six counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide and one count of second-degree sexual assault.

His attorney says he may look for an insanity plea.

Prosecutors say Johnson went to the Menominee River July 31 and opened fire on a group of swimmers, killing three and injuring one. Investigators say he fired about 17 shots.

It is getting sickening when someone does wrong and the first thing that they say is that they are looking for a insanity plea. What ever happened to you do the crime you pay the time. What about the families that have lost their loved ones. It is time to start thinking of the victims and families that these type of people hurt. That and its time to get these people off the streets and lock them up and throw away the key. I know that it is not going to bring them back but aleast no one else will loose their life.
